check it out uh afterward but if you're here on the live drop us a comment in the comment section let me see if I can hear myself let's see no I can't okay there we go I can hear myself so in that case let's go ahead with the subject matter at hand um yeah so we pretty much got a situation where you know Sydney mclin levrone she got invited to a diamond League meet and guessing she's not goingon to be able to do it but we still gonna cover this subject anyway all right so let me put this on your screen here let's put this on your screen Sydney mclaughin lone to End season with rare 200 400 meter double at the diamond League final all right this was really just yesterday today is just depends on where you are on the planet but yesterday so it says the uh Olympic 400 meter hurdles Champion and World Record holder has received an invitation to run in the flat distances in her PO her only post Olympic games race of the Year all right there she is with that nice silky smooth world record as she's getting it knocking it off and knocking it off and knocking it off .37 seconds dang all right 400 hurdles mind you okay so here's the article on olympic.com olympics.com says she may be the queen of the 400 meter hurdles but Sydney M mlin lone will be will close her International track and field season in unusual style later this month all right the American who lowered her onlap hurdles world record to a scarce L believable .37 seconds pending ratification of course in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games final is set to compete in a flat double at the season ending Diamond League final in the memorial Van Dam in Brussels from the 13th to the 14th of September so it starts on Friday the 13th nothing could ever go wrong on that spooky day right who knows we already got some drama apparently uh coming through cuz if it wasn't enough we got to hide some drama about something that's understandable I I will admit this it's it's a little bit understandable I'll cover that a little bit later so it says despite having uh not having run in a diamond League meet this year organizers have extended Wild Card invitations to M glin levrone to compete in Brussels where she will run the 400 meter flat on Friday uh 13th of September before taking part in the half-lap 200 meter race the following day it will be just the 25y Old Second 400 met flat and third 200 met race this year although mclin Leone also ran on team USA's gold medal winning women's 4x400 meter relay team at the side the fronts now they are just so close to that world record I swear come on that that's what I rather see at that I want to see this world record go down in that 4x4 I thought uh that team with Alice and Felix and her uh a Thing mo and everything like that back at the uh the previous Olympics I thought that was going to break the world record but nope and I thought one of the uh previous ones was that Rio or one of them before that even with s Richards Ross I'm like I'm like okay but anyway the two races will also be her only post Olympics race races this season okay real nice M glin lone has competed over the 400 meter flat with moderate uccess in recent years they say I'm moderate okay with her 48.7 personal best set at the usatf outdoor national championships in 2023 ranking her as the 12th fastest woman all time in the event okay moderate success okay national champ in a very Sprint heavy Nation I don't think that's moderate but I get where they're going so um however the 200 meter uh 200 meter is a rare race for the American before her two races this year which include her personal best of 22.07-cu stay curious you said hey what Diamond League just pulled is complete BS hey could you uh can you expand on that what do you mean by BS was it BS for inviting her or BS from pulling her which one so okay they they're going over her career results here and it all looks very nice I mean she kind of like killed the field with just you know kind of going in that 200 and even she said yeah I know it's the long strides because you know shorter strides generally are viewed as more effective and efficient when it comes to the sprint races versus the long strides that many of the athletes would do over the hurdles so she's like look I know that was that and we got to work on some things for the shorter one but I just kind of wanted to get out here and I think she kind of implied like hey I need to break 22 but she didn't break 22 it was in a headwind so when you think of it that way it's like probably could have broke 22 with how close that was you said volume is low interesting let me see I just turned it up here maybe that's a little bit better let me know I forgot oh yeah I kind of move locations and stuff so it's the same setup I had the mic to where it originally was but maybe because of the room and background or whatever uh that wasn't there but I just turned the mic up the volume up so hopefully that's a lot better I got some headphones in and I can tell it's a lot better so let me know how you guys like that sound I think it's a lot louder now so anyway um yeah so here it is here's the thing here let me go here to this article now this is essentially Sports uh.com so here we go this one says amid backlash Sydney mclaughin lron I'mma bring up a Twitter account from you know somebody that's we'll see uh he's involved in the sport and everything so I'm probably going to get in some trouble for that one but hey I'm here for it amid uh backlash Sydney mlin levrone's 200 meter announcement excites fans over the diamond League final over for them now they're quoting for from the 200 meter way earlier this season you see how these articles do things and they kind of do click baity stuff so that you can read them saying over for them and all of that they were referring to her 200 meters and how she just ran uh a season opener was like yeah it's over for the rest of them they training this whole season for that she's training for the 400 meter hurdles and she ran a 22.07-cu remind me highly G Cassi breaking the world record what was it like 27 times different events National records 12 something times but those are different times different events obviously distance races and this is a Sprint so and position Team USA in the driver's seat with her 4x400 meter relay anchor leg in National Record uh it's like a fans Paradise in fact her supporters just had one ask to see her more often on the tracks even Beyond the mega meats and what are the odds they got granted to okay State curious said uh it was BS for inviting her using her for promotion then pulling her she's still on the front page of their website uh something tells me she's still gonna kind of show up I don't know about them pulling her maybe they just kind of Silent some people here let's just go straight to that anyway let's just go straight to it cuz why not why not let me just go straight to that right now even though this says two Sydney's 200 meter curve ball caught the uh track World off guard now you guys know what I say here and here's the uh Twitter right there and everything that's on the private uh window Sydney Lin lone has announced has been announced for the diamond League final in Brussels okay track and field Gazette now let me change my window going to bring this up not going to pull a rly poly Mar Martin well he got some questionable things on the screen I don't do that around here so he might have questionable things on the screen but I don't now where the heck is that window I don't even see that up here give me one second guys it doesn't even give me the option to put this window there there it is now okay now we got a uh um a Karen here I understand Mr Owen M and everything like that is okay but let's read his kening here he is one of the People instrumental of getting her pulled Owen M said according to the official Diamond league rules in regards to Global wild card the athlete must look at all caps must have competed in at least one Diamond League meeting in the course of the Season all right okay and she hasn't clearly Sydney mclin lone hasn't competed at a diamond League meet this season that's how I imagine him fuming at the mouth and mouth breathing and stuff all over this therefore not fulfilling the criteria for Global Wild Card are having enough points to automatically qualify H okay so either the rules have changed and we haven't been informed or they're bending the rules for certain athletes wait a minute guys they're bending rules for athletes whoa my mind is freaking blown since when is track and field actually Fair see if this was a bigger thing that we could complain about then sure now on the one hand I get it because there are athletes that work their tail off they work their tail off so that they can qualify for this meet and they get a check they get appearances and you know the companies and everything like that but okay you talking about a world record holder pretty undefeated the last person that defeated her was the previous world record holder so she took and stripped the crown from the previous world record holder they tried to put the hype up for fim Cabo Bots and they could not do it and now you telling me they can't make an exception hey you know how they got that atlarge bid thing you know how they got the at llarge bid for the World Championships that was a rule change that was bending the rules for Michael Johnson Michael Johnson had what a hamstring injury for the people that remember he was injured they said you know what you ain't even got a qualif ify for your own Nationals no more Michael Johnson was that big that they said yeah scrap these rules let's change them because people want to see him this is why when a Thing mo was trying to push back and people were talking about that thing I'm like yeah is understandable unfortunately for Mo she's not big enough to influence that or to have influence because if she was her falling down hey it would have been like oh well sue me type of thing to the other athlet that would have got knocked out for her falling sorry Ain when you think about it it would have been like sorry Nia Akin cuz she would have been like at that point I think she would have complained even though she was she would have complained and was like Hey I fell and you didn't pay attention to me it's like look life is like this the billionaires run the planet other people with power run all of us into the ground and they control us let's be for real we got white supremacy all over the planet they ran to a advantage and they are taking full advantage the only way we stop this is continuously fighting back and so this dude he coming over here karing and Darren and he's over here trying to say well the rules have changed now this would be the same type of person that would have said hey you need to follow the rules with shakeri Richardson but wouldn't say nothing about the Russian athlete that had that drugs and was still okay to keep her gold medal this would be the the same type of person that will say well you know you got to follow the rules the rulle got to be followed I know it's we I don't think it's big deal but she cannot compete at the Olympics cuz she broke a rule she went there and but the Russian athlete that they bent the rules for nothing done absolutely silent absolutely silent now this always usually comes from you know Palm colored people no offense to you man don't know suspecting stuff and they post up mainly melanated people all day I looked at your Instagram I looked down all of your post and stuff and I'm like H I can kind of get where you are you know Carl Le is following you other people are following you other uh big um people and I know I can get in trouble for some of this whatever so I'm just suspecting a couple of things it usually just fits the profile when you starting to see that but this will be the same type of person not saying that he did it cuz I didn't look that far back to see that that would be too much in a short period of time that I had but I urge somebody to look back and see hey did some of the old tweets go on the way back machine you know and say hey was this person silent when that uh that Russian athlete you know although a minor it don't matter there's minors that be uh getting banned all the time but the Russian one she they bent the rules for her and then it took what year and a half two years later then they finally did something but at the time they man whatever she's fine she's just fine they delayed it as much as possible before they finally was like yeah let's take the gold medal for you because they eventually did I covered that only a few weeks ago right so in any case here's the guy coming here saying so either the rules have changed and we haven't been informed or they're bending the rules for certain athletes hey I like that you know I covered this before and I put this in your comment section bro World Athletics don't seem to be making that much money and in fact they lost money according to their own numbers that they put out now you could say it's because they spent more on Revenue but the diamond League money is going down see it's people like this person okay people similar to this type of mindset let's I'm not going to put him he's just the the uh the card of the mindset that people have when they say well you know the NFL they shouldn't be doing victory dances remember when those same types of people came up and they was like Hey black people y'all can't be doing this uh victory dances at the end of the NFL you know when you get a touchdown you shouldn't do nothing guess what they went straight back on it viewership start going and people was like wait a minute pocketbooks hurt hey y'all could do the victory dances do them all day Negroes yep do them all day coach Prime do something they like oh look he look he think he better than me look every time one of us do something they got a problem this dude caring in up so anyway let's not talk about all the rule bending and stuff that other people like that Russian athlete get so here we go either way let me continue what he said either way proper communication would be nice and you're setting a quote dangerous precedent when you set rules for some and not others regardless of their event or dominance now you know if we lived in a world where stuff was fair and it wasn't a system of white supremacy if it was a system of meritocracy even in track and field and we know it's not there are athletes even at this last Olympics didn't those Chinese athletes that uh apparently failed drug test and all of that drama that went by with the swimmers and stuff and now they over here setting World Records didn't we just go through time and time again there are athletes right now that Miss what is that four or five some of them American some of them not they missing their uh their drug testing nothing had happened to them but other ones they get banned come on now we get this stuff all the time and Carl Lewis himself replied to this and said hey look you know they bent the rules all the time to invite me to big events that's what he said he said that himself matter of fact let's put up Carl Lewis in just a second but here we go I wouldn't down here I said stop whining Athletics is not fair it's their own League they should place the best athletes for attention there if she brings them views and money good I showed on my YouTube World Athletics is losing money and Diamond League prize money has decreased they better start changing that's what it is Sebastian Cole said that the future of track and field is the United States he said that himself he has an American athlete that's doing dominance undefeated while although she barely shows up think of a boxer boxers at the top what do you because of physicality especially you not going to be at the top level fighting every single freaking week and sometimes not even a month what Sometimes some of the top boxers fight once or twice a year like with those big bouts or something like that very few and far between yet they get huge amounts of money and attention and stuff brought on them you don't need to show up every week yeah it's nice that somebody's there she's showing up at the meat she need to her her uh coach got her right where he needs her we don't need you trying to change something up for all we know she come out and set something real good in the 400 and the 200 next thing we know shoot we got a new world record in that unlikely but possible but we got people out here and there's a couple people that agree with them there's a couple people that agree with them there but here's some people let me read their comments listen we don't care LOL track this is uh track and field or track field uh Anonymous I guess uh uh Twitter account so listen we don't care LOL track fans get the chance to see Sydney versus Shaker this is the type of stuff that will push the sport so if we have to bend the rules for athletes on Sydney's level then we will do it other sports do it all the time let's just sit back and enjoy he said like I said at the end you're setting a dangerous precedent when you set rules for some and not others regardless of their event or dominance okay okay now of course it's not complete without throwing no allows in there or just any insert any other person cuz I've noticed this if it wasn't to do with one of our athletes in the United States particularly a black person they would have thrown him in there anyway I see this under completely unrelated stuff it'll be anime it'll be talk about some Japanese and Asians somehow black people in America get blown thrown into the conversation so this is not surprising this guy says uh we are all blinded by these folks while I am extremely happy to see Sid for the Last Dance it is unfair for other athletes I feel what's next a Noah bingo card hey I don't care if Noah is the world's fastest man and Noah bringing in the tension at the end of the day Noah gonna get some things done now this is the same thing that other leagues do don't they got that anti-t touch rule basically that they have for LeBron James and other quote Superstar it's the Superstar rule remember they start having that where you get too close they calling a fou on you and people was complaining I was one of them and then we were like that but look they able to generate Revenue so if it's so bad I'mma just stop watching which I did and I mainly don't watch uh basketball that much anymore just here and there maybe but it's like okay cool if it's that bad go somewhere else but at the end of the day bro okay this man was proud let me bring this up here all right he matches the profile like I said kind of posting up mainly melanated folks if you go down a profile it's just like that I'm like okay maybe these are all the athletes you've worked with who knows but in any case let's look at the story here it is just in Sydney mclin levrone is not eligible to compete in the women's 200 meters and 400 meters at the diamond League final in Brussels next week oh I guess Diamond League CEO Peter Stasney announced the news during a technical meeting today after I he's proud of that one after I and many others called out the rule bending as one of the requirements to be awarded a global wild card was to compete in at least one Diamond League meet throughout the course of this season which Sydney hasn't we want to see the best compete but that starts with competing on the circuit regularly and at least putting yourself in a position to qualify yeah I understand I understand I really do but if they wanted to do that that's up to them now obviously enough people pressured them hey that's what it's supposed to do if you don't like something on the one hand I get them I feel them like for real I feel you and I do understand because you should be able to put push and and move as fans or as people in you know you would think you could do that with your politicians hey you get enough people and enough action if somebody violated something you can get some stuff done you got to push and pride whatever okay cool I understand it on the one hand but let's be real I think if somebody at Sydney McLaughlin's level is is competing and you got a shakeri Richardson competing and it's kind of like that Mondo deplanes and Caron vhol type of Meetup maybe they could have had something separate they just wanted to have them both in that final right if you want to see both of them match up blow for blow okay maybe they're both not regarded as the top 200 meter athletes but hey they near the top in their at the top or near the top in their own respective events so why don't we see them face off in an intermediary you got the 400 meter hurdle specialist and you got a 100 meter strength specialist right there coming up lining up and they're both popular in their own regard of course sh carry more popular but they're both bringing in headlines that is what the finals is supposed to be about hey if they got to scuff somebody else man put them in in in uh the extra length don't you got nine Lanes on these tracks now and you was gonna invite eight people now use all nine Lanes you didn't do that much but of course hey he said it's also important to protect the Integrity of the sport and stick to the most upto-date rules regardless of an athlete's name nationality event or dominance now I'mma just say this this is the type of thing that these folks will pull on us for example let give y'all just an example outside of sports you have discriminated against black people particularly black Americans but then if something is done for black people you're going to sue and sue and say it can't be done on Race but you discriminated because of race but then you start going to the legal it's the I'm white not say so thing right see in this case he like hey you shouldn't be doing this it's supposed to be Integrity bro where were you at when Integrity I'mma actually challenge you if you see this video want somebody send them this video in this particular part here I I challenge you to pull up a tweet and I'll pull back and retract what I say on this I want you to prove that if you see this that you will come back and say you know what I was calling out the Integrity of when they changed and bent everything to say hey let's all go easy on this Russian athlete the isn't the West in a so-called war and you know cold war or Real World War III against Russia right now and kind of doing it with China aren't they against them so it seems like these same people that got the same type of skin they seem to went real easy on because at the end of the day they got scuffles against cousins but they say look we going to hold up the system of white supremacy okay we might have some anti-russian thing you know ethnicity difference between us but we all you know let's do some of these things here or maybe it was political influence I don't care which one it always seems to match up with them type of folks you know so in that case did you call out that for the Integrity of a sport but then also did you say shakeri needed to follow the rules because if you doing saying shakeri needed to follow the rules hey guys it's the rules but then you said hey you didn't say nothing about the other thing that was there right seems like you being a little bit inconsistent with integrity and it's for certain folks and not others or if you said hey shary that wasn't right she should be allowed to compete she should be allowed then I'll give a pass to that too and say you know what hey you know what this guy kind of flip-floppy because if he said shaki should be allowed to compete but the rules were violated now you saying this thing here seems like you got a personal vandetta against a particular athlete in this case Sydney so you either can prove that you were saying any of those two statements but we got people that caring it up and they said you know what Sydney you're out now I don't know if this is what they're going to do for real for real or they pulling a bait and switch and saying everybody calm down she's not running because if she's still on the diamond League website maybe she's still competing just saying maybe they want to calm some of these people down because at the end of the day remember Diamond League final money went down what do y'all think about that drop it in the comment section what do you'all think about that diamond League money went down they're trying to figure out creative ways to pull people in right they're trying to figure out creative ways to pull people in but then we got people complaining saying hey yeah we know this a little bit last minute man if I was them just change the rules up can't y'all change the rules up at the last second y'all in control of the league yeah people would have not like that but as long as you don't kick somebody out and you just opened up an extra Lane hey they probably was going to be in Lane I don't know two anyway now they in Lane one I I don't know they probably could still start crying and stuff hey I'm on the inside Lane you didn't squeeze me out in this 200 now I'm in the worst Lane and it's like hey look you would have been lane two anyway but if you got nine Lanes on the track maybe you put the athletes there but I forget if Russell's got nine or eight cuz I know the diamond League final aren't they just eight lanes that they fill up or something like that so they start transitioning a lot of these to the track but again we've had rule changes before Diamond league is separate from World Athletics Championships just like it's separate from World Athletics uh Grand the um uh the grand PRI or the um uh InterContinental tour that's its own thing the Continental tour is its own league and its own little sport Diamond league is its own League now they happen to both be owned in Under the Umbrella of world Athletics but they are their own leagues that's what gets really confusing with track and field we got all of these entities Under World Athletics it's like the car brands think of it like car brands where you got different brands but they're owned by the same company yeah it's kind of like that so they're their own car different brand but the overall manufacturer and the company is the same one that owns them but they're the different brands you got their own CEOs of each one you contact them for whatever needs you need in the parts that's what it is like here but at the end of the day I think that was kind of grimy what this dude was doing all right I think it's kind of grimy here let me see I think Carl Lewis winded up uh I think he responded to this let me go here okay let's see let me see it say fun how he basically said it's a great idea to break the rules uhoh some I'm Jamaican uhoh uhoh I'm sure that this same person wouldn't have mind it if the rules are bent for you say boat we know how it was here for a few weeks Jamaica was just saying all random stuff just untrue even my sister believed some of those things I was like dang I guess repeating a liot enough and some people will believe that BS but anyway um Empress Esquire said funny how he basically said it's a great idea to break the rules for certain athletes like him but now he's not a fan of the league okay where is his reply tweet let me see let me see okay now this was in reply to the the uh the guy here before he said they did it for me numerous times as in they gave him exceptions you know bent the rules it's been happening for years and it has always been a great idea get the best athletes to race any way you can hey I mean simple as that coming from Carl Lewis he's confirmed all the suspicions that people was like oh man he got rules bent for him hey he just told you right here he's telling you it's a cold world deal with it what you think this was like a like oh Owen let me just let me ask you for a second Owen just come in for a second are you generating money for them any idea that's generating money because right now all you're doing is complaining like are you getting things Carl Lewis was talking about Noah allow and saying hey it's a tough thing and he's holding things up but are you contributing to things that are actually there cuz like I understand some things I understand where you come coming from I really do but you going to have to put that to the side man you're going to have to put that to the side are one of the athletes you might have may or may not have worked with or been a fan of are they gonna be edged out is that what this is about for real is is that what this is about are you like dang my favorite athletes gonna get knocked out dang is that what's is that what's happening right now or this athlete I work with they are going to get knocked out is that what's really going on I don't know now Carl Lewis said uh he said always interested in hearing your thoughts thoughts Carl but don't you think it defeats the whole purpose of having a league in the first place not only that man if he talking about this what is he gonna talk about with Michael Johnson's track and field League oh my goodness I'm just imagining that real quick cuz they got in fight only anyway he really to be mad they going to see somebody Michael Johnson might see somebody they didn't even qualify for the standards of the league and then this guy gonna be like Michael Johnson I gotta remind you of your rules and somebody had to remind this dude in the comment section that they're always changing like literally year to year they are changing diamond league rules and regulations year to year literally they're trying to figure it out as it goes on so because they're trying to stay solving because if they don't they just going to go defunct then you ain't got nothing to watch bro nothing so he said not only that but the rules set out by Diamond League to be eligible for Global Wild Card have been made very clear and in Sid's case she hasn't met the criteria no matter what our thoughts and feelings are we want to see the best race but that starts with competing in the circuit more regularly and putting yourself in a position to be eligible for the diamond League FAL whether that through points or meeting the Wild Card criteria now this person down here say League usually modifies as rule when a situation like this presents itself they're taking advantage of an opportunity that will bring more interest in this case they're being proactive rather than reactive more people are excited about this beat now than they were a day ago as of right now show me updated rules man I swear this dude fighting harder to keep somebody out then he would to tell man Owen right now I just need you to prove that you were using the same energy on every other case that they bent some rules I think I'mma have to go down your profile I'mma follow up on this I'm going to see number one did you talk about the Russian athlete I'm going to see number two were you talking about the other athletes that said they ate a burrito bowl and all of this stuff and they kind of had you know drug testing and you know you know it wasn't fair or whatever and you know it it just happened to be that were you saying no that story is BS that wasn't that or or did you say a comment on it I'm GNA have to look down your profile a little bit more before I say my next statement because I'm like okay you hearing them and Carl Lewis literally just told you that they bent the rules for him they bent the rules for him so much your ass didn't even notice damn they bent the rules for him and others that means you say both got the rules bent for him uhoh Dana Asher Smith probably got the rules bent for and you got her all over your profile some of these other athletes you're seeing gets the rules bent for them all the time they probably get Lane choices you know like how they were complaining and they said no allows remember Kenny benrick for the people that were no allows get this blah blah he actually put himself in the worst Lane but hey it is what it is but okay people certain people get rules bent for them it just it is what it is you need to fight back that for the athletes but you over here saying this and he told you he literally told you and you said but the rules say and he said but the rules don't mean nothing cuz they bent it for so there you go there's that uh State Cur said this is basically flag football players complain about NFL players playing flag football in the LA 2028 Olympics damn I know that's funny now he said I'm not a fan of the diamond League they said how else are they going to learn if you don't protest they're not going to change course where hold on what was this in reply to okay it said as of right now show me to updated rules in regards to the global wild cards and then we can continue this conversation if they're going to change a rule the public domain should be made aware communication is very important man who are you that that now I got to ask who are you the public should be made oh where you need to tell me right now cuz if you beat this Rule and and you made an exception you need tell me right now what hold up what do they owe you are you paying their bills do you secretly P pirate these meats tell the truth come on bro do you pirate these meats come on but no no all jokes aside dude they got to answer to you the public I think you mean you I think that's what it was they caught you with your pants down and you was like what hold up they did what with who Sydney I know I want to see her more often because he was complaining about it I want to see her more often but I know for a fact let me get these rules out let me get these rules out real quick wait a minute I knew she wasn't at these Diamond League me okay okay let me let me make sure okay one of the qualifications is an exception of wild card if she broke the world record she did dang I can't get her on that oh wait a minute she didn't do even one it has to be the world record and she has to show up to at least one of these meets now remember I told y'all before it's blatant World Athletics allowed Michael Johnson the Wild Card the uh the buy remember he's the world champion he got injured they said nah we want to see our best athletes on the world stage so they changed the freaking rules now why did they also go from four rounds originally down to three let's just start asking good questions and we start seeing stuff now I didn't like this one but they changed the rules in the PO vote when Sergey uh bua went there we could I could start going down the list I wasn't even alive at some of these moments in time and I know about these things how come you act like you don't know Owen come on Owen or should I call you Karen how come you don't know this how come you don't know that they always been the rules for them you saying setting a dangerous precedent when have they not bent the rules that's the better question when have they not bent the rules for certain athletes that should be the question that we got to ask you now that's what somebody should you know what I'm going to actually ask that I should just tweet this dude down and say bro when have they not bent the rules didn't they bend the rules and change them blatantly at kind of like the last minute for Michael Johnson at the world championship I'm G keep going back to that one because that was a major thing think about not having to compete at your national championships and maybe you just show up for a race they could all the times that uh Shel ass she didn't have to go through the trials and rounds Usain Bo really didn't have to do that other athletes didn't right or they could just do a different event think about what Sydney did last year before she was hurt she went and did a different event she got the buy already in the 400 hurdles that would not have happened if they didn't bend the rules for Michael Johnson and then forever they just said let's keep that what about the rules bending for the Victory lap that happens with uh what's his name from Uganda one of the most dominant and then unfortunately the government was like yeah you ain't going to no more of these Olympics and he I mean he might have been better than Edwin Moses unfortunately we never know Edwin Moses learned from him but what's his name he was the first one I'm forgetting his name did the Victory lap they tried to stop him he kept going and going and going and now we got Victory laps that was against the rules the next race was already lined up which was the 400 hurdles uh for the uh women and they were like hey uh we need you to get out the way he was so happy that he broke that world record he was so happy that he got the win at the Olympics he was like I just kept going we get rule changes all the time okay now this is what this dude said they let a Thing mo compete at the diamond League final last year but that was an exception because like I said year to year they change kind of the rules or it's slightly different it was because national champion ship were in uh Eugene or something like that so they gave her a buy because it was also in Eugene that's what it was it was also in Eugene I read through this dude's tweets before I came up online but Yakov Inger britson that's a very uh very interesting thing that you say if they didn't compete last year there's a lot of rule changes and if this D I'mma look into that one with uh yakob iner brinon if he didn't compete at not one and he wasn't at the nation national championships because he's not American was this dude keeping the same energy last year cuz if not then I'm going have to start going on that maybe you kind of got a thing against certain people you know get real suspect I'mma really double down on that one huh Joshua chap the guy I don't know uh chap the guy probably did a couple Diamond leagues he usually shows up I've seen him many times in different Diamond leagues now it's probably he did it in a different event but if he showed up at any race that's the thing if they competed in any race in the diamond League then it'll be fine and I'm I'm sure that uh iner britson probably did show up at A500 or 3,000 or 5,000 or 10,000 who knows if they showed up at anyone but I'm going do some research on it I'm almost certain that both of those guys did show up and they got like a um they got Diamond League races more often than people think in different events so we'll see but looking at this he said um then the reply is the rule of change is being written as we speak and the only people that will care is y'all that love being miserable exactly While others are excited they did this everyone else will enjoy a meet that's not Bland and a rerun of the last couple meets while y'all boycotting in protest then this dude okay yep it's always one of them a track and feel quote Enthusiast are you one of them purists bro no one is boycotting SL miserable everyone wants to see her run so why can't she compete in at least one Diamond League to qualify you mean can't uh changing the rules on the spot is unfair to athletes who have been competing to try and make the diamond League final that's stupid okay then they say how else are they going to learn if you don't protest they're not going to change course and not invite a popular uh a popular athlete to compete if all y'all do is complain on Twitter because at the end of the day Money Talks exactly it would be nice if we uh no this is way back in uh during uh um Edwin Moses era n this ain't recently the you know Victory last been going on now I'm talking about the 400 hurdles I forget his name um I should know his name because I even talked about him on this YouTube channel a year ago and um for forget his name forgive me guys his name uh escapes me at the current moment but it's one of the people it's like okay dang this dude had that much influence but you'll never know like a lot of the things that we do now is people will forget at some point people will forget that you get a buy an automatic bid for the World Championships because Michael Johnson that will be forgotten at some point just like the Victory lap came from what's his name in the 400 hurdles so it's just like oh dang so yeah they say and if you're still going to watch they'll break their rules again exactly now let me go back here the athletes have no tolerance for any battles that has been shown in the past just enjoy the event they said LOL American exceptionalism must be nice he said That's The Way of the World hey look deal with it I mean it just it is what it is said okay and how does that work uh oh Ray you on the wrong side it looks like okay okay so y'all know me I'm the same all the time I'm all forid running at Diamond League finals nah but I need y'all to tell me how she got in in only after running both events one time this year I thought you need points to get in um yeah okay oh well it is what it is I mean Ray you was kind of going in at Noah and trying to put the attention on lesay well we know what it was but you going to leave it there put who they want that will enhance the meat done there we go that's all we need matter of fact let me retweet that real quick repost they said we are trying to do something positive for Youth and teachers this back school okay that's something different but it's where Elite athletes learn earns lucrative prizes Diamond league has always been about collusion and lowering athletes control and pay it needs to go now here's the truth thank you cuz I was about to get into that here in a second now Carl Lewis is at the same time doing this now this does put the control into the athletes hand let's read this again this is the part that people do not realize the diamond league has always been about collusion and lowering athletes control and pay it needs to go cuz you notice I pointed out here I'm not going to bring it up again but think about how the diamond League final was it like 12 or 15,000 or something for first and really not that much and then it went down to like 10 even last place doesn't even get a th and it was over a thousand before so they started off hey guys look what they got now they don't even announce how much the people winning anymore next thing we know first place gonna get like a a a a token remember when I said in 2021 that Shel Anne was going to beat Elaine and then after that she ain't goingon to race her no more that year I said she gonna keep racing the lane until she beats her I said I know what type Shel Anne is I've analyzed her I see what she could be doing she beat her and then she didn't show up and also didn't even show up for the diamond League final and I said she probably got paid more to go to that Continental tour meet from the appearance fees because they don't give it in a diamond League final apparently then she would have even in first place I don't know just speculation but I have a feeling that even if she took a pay cut it's like look I took a small pay cut I could just chill easy here I ain't got to race eyes uh sticking out my head bucking or nothing I ain't got to do that I just got to chill I got konji no offense right next to me I just got to get out real nice and easy slow kongji got out on me because she kind of get out fast sometimes and then I just kind of cruise it up and win and I collect the money that's what she did but here it is World Athletics has the opportunity to create a great event with the end of the year competition coming soon then put their full support behind the new events coming there we go that's exactly what this is what do y'all think I've covered everything that I'mma I have here um he said didn't have a league until I retired Our Generation wouldn't stand for it check your facts dang he said our generation their generation would not stand for it I'm I'm curious uh what does he mean by that as in they wouldn't take that low or what Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson are the reason I ran D1 track Carl is absolutely right am a generation uh after Carl and we didn't like the idea of the league okay yeah that's what I thought he was coming from that aspect what do y'all think about that one what do y'all think about uh those messages right there because what I got right here is this some BS now I didn't told y'all it's a lot more freaking money in track and field he has confirmed it right there he's putting it out in the open Michael Johnson's about to blow it out of the water hey he only got one uh or two options he either fails and they tried and say eh whatever it was a good enough job you know some people going to be like hey you want debt and it's up to the bank or they succeed and we see this whole time that the athletes could have been paid more and when you really think about it many people in Jamaica you say hey we're so good we're so great we're this we got a lot of Jamaican fans here we got a lot of black Americans here we got a couple uh from the United Kingdom we got a people here from um it's Nigeria and Kenya those are the biggest uh crowd that I have confirmed that we got and some of those people that are in the US and in the UK are uh actually Nigerian or Jamaican descent or something like that and some people in East Africa are actually black Americans so but then some are not but we got a whole mix of people here and some of you guys actually trained to be athletes this would help you guys out that are still young we got a couple 19 20 21 year olds here that are training there's some in mid 20s and lower 30s some of you still probably have a chance and other ones you kind of edging on the way out other than Masters this could actually be a ticket for you guys so I'm going to speak this piece to you guys and anybody else that would like to just listen if this thing works with Michael Johnson's track and field uh League then what that does is it's going to do one or two things it's going to have the elite elite athletes because that's what it is four come up and they're going to start prioritizing going to that meet the only thing that can get in the way are the shoe companies putting in their contract yeah we don't want you to come here and if they do that well it ain't going to be no caring and daring stuff they just going to sue them the league is going to sue them and say hey look you're a shoe company you are not the track and fi organization it'd be one thing if you were the track and field organization you are not usatf you are not World Athletics you are not Britain Athletics you're not Jamaican J Triple A you're not them so yeah y'all going to have to open up and allow the athletes or else we're going to sue you under the water we're going to sue you under the floor so that's all that that's all that could happen and yeah they could get time up and litigation and stuff but if you got people with billions and billions of dollars behind you in this league yeah they they got some money behind them but they ain't going to hide a billions there you think uh these shoe companies are going to come out and out billions when you got tenis behind them that got billions and billions and no because tennis could be like yeah we see what you doing over here in track who knows maybe they'll just say hey look yeah you know I see what you doing man I think we just gonna have a different sponsor this time around they could be Petty like that I don't know because you know people are still going to watch Tennis if they going to watch them and they just might say Hey you know two play at that game we going to do over here in tennis and certain sponsors I don't know we got questions I don't think it'll get to that level I don't think they would think is that important but you got the backing of a huge multi-billion dollar league and this one is tens of millions that's it tens of millions that's what these leagues are bringing in usatf World Athletics they got tens of millions not even a 100 million not hundreds of millions tens of millions of dollars compared to even one billion hey it's going to blow you out the water so if they want to try to do something stupid cuz that would be then here's what's going to happen this is going to help the athletes out because once the elite athletes and I told y'all about my idea with hosting and track meet like I will host it just once a year and I was like look I'mma just have to borrow from Michael Johnson now and just try to get some connections and Deep Pockets cuz I was going to try to fund it myself like a dummy but that depends on my money and by the time I get that if I do uh and can afford it I'm like look let's have a race off it's going to be once a year maybe twice a year the winners could get like a million second place get this whatever or you know 500,000 whatever it is but we have this and I would have it on purpose I'm like look I'mma have it at or around the USA championships yeah you know some of the quote best athletes go there but hey look if you're the best athlete on the planet first place 500,000 compared to whatever you think you about to get who knows who knows because some of them may not have those contracts you might have been the best shot putter but you ain't getting 500,000 you like wait a minute let me come over here real quick you know so but if they start to pull the athletes away what is Diamond League gonna be forced to do they got one or two things they gonna have to adapt or they're going to crumble that's it at the end of the day they can adapt because this is what could happen the top tap athletes like for real for real for real top athletes you know what they could do they could say look we just not gonna show up to this diamond League final you just giving us $10,000 to race I mean I could come last in this league right here I come last in my ranking right here and get more than $10,000 oh yeah do you mean these races leading up to that okay cool cool it's only a few handful of these but look I kind kind of got third and fourth at a couple of these I got like 200 something thousand I don't need to show up to none of your meets that's what they could be doing at this point which then will force Diamond League to adjust and start paying out more money and when they pay out more money you best believe they gonna be starting to hog this stuff now this is why and I'm I'm going to say it and end it here I believe that the reason why this happened with Sydney mlin levrone and if they could get no allows I'm pretty sure they would obviously I think they had to pay her an appearance fee because from what I know at least the previous rules I'm not even going to look into it don't really care but if I recall they do not pay appearance fees at the diamond League final and if I'm not mistaken maybe Shel Anne or somebody uh was complaining on her behalf who knows was talking about hey they don't do that so it is what it is right and she's won so many of them and done what she needed to do so it's like hey I'm in my Twilight a career let me go somewhere that's going to pay me something uh for showing up but if they don't pay an appearance fee and all you get is $110,000 for your trouble if you win right if you win remember this is all if you win imagine you don't win right imagine you don't win $100,000 if you win $75,000 in second place so $10,000 if you win this one and second place it go to like seven 8,000 wait a minute huh hold up I think I need a little bit more money from my pocket for my troubles so what do you guys think about that they're gonna have to adjust or they're just going to die that's what it is I look forward to it hey World Athletics if y'all don't get your' ass in gear maybe y'all sold off the flow Tac and said look this a pump and dump scheme we G to sell this to flow track because they giving us more money than peacock and all of this other stuff and we kind of know this stuff might be flat uh flopping but hey look we going to step down is you know the leaders of all this stuff pretty soon we just doing our last little pump off you know we getting a pump and getting out pumping D that could be the case right here I kind of suspected like yo why they giving it the flow tracker all the places that don't seem like they're the best equipped for something like that they GNA lock down even harder but hey I don't know maybe we give them a chance we gonna have to see after this year but track and field gonna have to adjust or they're going to die that's what it is is and I look forward to that league if that league is the only thing standing I'm going to say it right here and I will down this if that League that Michael Johnson is uh uh you know chairing and everything like that with tennis if that's the only thing left standing after all of this other than you know the Olympics and stuff and whatnot I will be perfectly content with four track meets per year plus whatever the championship at the end or whatever like that you know why because if those four track meets got some El Ying events the electrifying tension that's built up like a boxing match hey that's all it is cuz at the end of the day when you think about it the Normy all they watch is the Olympics all they saw were the Olympic events one track meet a year think about that maybe they saw two because they saw their national championships and then they saw the world or Olympic championships think about that they're only still seeing one one meat they're still seeing one the vast majority of people only see one meat One race that's it that's it they saw the 100 meter final and they know no allows world's fastest man that's what they know many of them didn't even see the 200 the people complaining about the 200 were some of the NBA players and other athletes that were in there and some of the normies got there because they're following NBA so now they are aware of it but if it it wasn't for that if it wasn't for that 90% of those people that know about it now that otherwise wouldn't it's still a smaller amount they wouldn't even know he got a bronze in the 200 so and again those people that's watching that 200 the vast majority of them will only watch that one race the entire freaking year when I say One race I mean 100 200 just the meat itself so at the end of the day this is what's the the actual truth is Michael Johnson's league if all they got is four meets a year sign me up I'm perfectly fine we gonna Market this thing like a boxing match I will be one of the top people coming up there hey this person versus this person this versus this person and best believe they gonna show up I can finally do what I said I wanted to do in 2021 announce these things like boxing matches that's what I want to do because that would make it more exciting hey on the one corner you got the world's fastest man versus the Challenger oblique Seville four time Trier four time well three time Trier three times striking out no medals you got a challenger Olympic silver medalist casain Thompson he has the fastest time in the world this year but the world's fastest man right here he is the world champion the Olympic champion he's here I would want to be doing some hype up stuff like that but instead we got the Shak signed up for this meet Sim signed up for this meet this person sign up Sydney mlac and lone signed up oh they didn't even show up what huh they changed their schedule Elaine changed the schedule huh what happened I I thought this Bermuda meat like what happened last year and the year before I thought we were going to have it oh you didn't like it uh bro because you didn't like that they didn't change the hurdles Direction around because the wind but I still wanted to see you you know hop the hurdles man you didn't want to do it because they didn't change it because of the win now maybe they should have did it because he's a a superstar and everything like that hey but they didn't do it so he didn't race he literally showed up you saw him on the track didn't race instead we got that that's what we got right now in track and field that's why I even find it very highly boring I find it not boring when it gets to championships because we actually get the big names to freaking race each other we get to see them race each other they got no other choice either cuz it's like you don't show up for that you can't be saying nothing go sit down you say you're the best Donovan brazer sit down you still injured you say you're the best inor Brit you just got your ass handed to you in the 1500 yeah you won 5,000 again but you say you're the best all right cool guess he was Olympic champ once and then you can't back it up again this is what we need we need Olympic champ here World Champ here this league Champ here that's how it could be Diamond League champion versus the world champion versus the Olympic champion versus the world record holder is going down tonight everybody line up we just saw the preview just five seconds ago we just saw uh tobogo win that race in the preview 100 we just saw uh Seville just get second place in that preview but here's the main event right here Noah is right there Cain Thompson is right there we got this person there that person there that person there all right ladies and gentlemen we are ready tonight you got your bets going because I got my back going I've been seeing no allows this whole year just eek away at the races he's just been barely eing away so if he gets that he's going to have a slow start but he's going to have to be on point he can't have a Shaker Richardson start he has to have a no allow start in that 200 on the curb in order to get this race because if he doesn't casain Thompson's going to eat his ass up out of the blocks and then he's not going to be able to be caught that's the type of stuff that's the type of energy that we need to have here that's the type of energy we need to have here in these races yeah I'm sorry for blowing y'all ears off because when I be announcing these track means people be like damn I need to have this dude back that's the type of stuff I want to have leading up to these uh uh these meats that's the type of stuff that I man I'm sweating after that one but that's the type of stuff that we need to have for these meats but instead we got a Karen we got a freaking Karen where is he at let bring back to his profile I'm 100% with Carl Lewis man who cares about that stuff when it start getting bigger or something I would say more important then we need to start you know maybe doing something but right now come on dude for real come on dude what you bringing to this part you bringing any excitement here you saying all smiles for Dina okay cool now you the same one you was like oh man Mond wins Mondo wins but I bet you if you said hey they didn't change the rules uh they shouldn't have been racist I know it was an official event see on another hand you'll be saying this like this highlight boxing match that they got right here you saying hey this a boxing match Mondo uh Duplantis world record holder in the P Vault versus the world oh man I shouldn't even get started there because he he would no it'd be M the plantis on the left Carston barol they have been really really good this year each of them have been world record holders and I think they're going to run really fast like that'll be your what you bringing instead instead of it's a world record holder matchup in a 100 see who's more the beast in the 100 I see Shamir right there all right I see you but anyway that's what I got y'all let me know after this uh live is over I'm done right now cuz I I'll be going in a little bit let me let me let me do it right now let me get it off right now hopefully they don't copyright strike me for uh playing a little tiny video of that you know you know them man these folks will be uh copyright striking you off of a tiny video I didn't even I didn't even think about the video plan right there but oh well he said just in she's not they said don't run in the circuit don't run in the final uh-oh there wasn't an uproar when Jacob was allowed to run in the finals if this had been Shelly no one would have complained n no if it was Shelly and and they and they got hey Jamaica tell me tell me I'm wrong if this was Shel Anne y'all have been like this is fair this is fair what are you saying man it would have been so many tweets man this dude life would have been threat and then if you come to find out Shel got got knocked out after being invited wo this dude going to have to block some people imagine that would have been Shelly Anne imagine that would have been shelan right there I'm telling you it would have been all over for him it would have been all over for him y'all like no this our national sport this is the only thing we got to look forward to and cricket and football you are not taking this away from us you are not taking this y'all be so aggressive and I understand hey man Carl Lewis has stated they did it for him numerous times people complain when Sydney doesn't run often and then complain when she decides to double shaking my damn head I know they said the rule was only introduced last season and wasn't made official until February of this year they said Shelly would never put herself bro who are you speaking for man yeah there we go man these people out here but anyway let me let me I'm G read a couple more of these tweets and then I think I'll be done for sure I should have been trading right now but I'd rather be here with y'all let me see this uh they say if this was done for Shelly y'all wouldn't be up in arms with the rule bending just saying hey uh for the people people that lasted this far in the live stream or in the post recording y'all want me to start bringing more of that energy to some of these uh recordings I can bring that energy I'll be I could be on a hundred I could be on a thousand if I need to I just have been more conservative because y'all know back in 2021 I was bringing a lot of energy I don't think I brought it to that point other than a couple of roas and stuff I did here and there but should I bring that energy really hyping up like the only reason I haven't hyped up and I probably should have did it for the Olympics but the only reason I do not do that for the regular season meets including the diamond League the Grand Pre the uh Continental tour whatever it is is because at any given freaking moment the athletes could pull out and they often do like you think somebody gonna be there and they don't freaking show up it's like damn I should have really did a little bit more of that hype during the Olympics though especially for those 100s uh for the 100s and all of that stuff I should have did a lot more of that hype there but y'all let me know if y'all like that energy the diamond League like the PGA is not bigger than the Stars Sid would have brought a lot more eyeballs to the meat man this dude uh they need to make it worth her wild what about the rest of the athletes who participate yeah what about them who cares yeah y let me see they say I personally do not care what the rules say the 400 meter race is a great matchup that all of us want to see huge missed opportunity for the diamond league but there are two open lanes at the athlos meet all right so you made the meet less entertaining for everyone else to watch good job that is correct all right guys thank you guys for coming out you've been watching Head and Shoulders ATR and I'm your host Nick and uh normally we cover well actually we we are we cover athletes performances and otherwise that are Head and Shoulders Above the Rest but this was not this guy right here he not Head and Shoulders Above the Rest unless you talking about kening and daring um maybe he's a little bit ahead of doing some of that but damn bro you just kind of messed it up and and to be honest I I'm even more like dang I don't even feel like watching when when I found out when I did this I was like oh dang they F to invite her out cuz I said I swear she ain't run nothing but one or two beats before the uh before the trials and then I see this dude and I'm like oh shoot he's championing and you know he's proud he took all the credit what if he just played a one less than one% thing but he taking all the credit see is I I did it I got her knocked down okay remember that stand on that Hill be ready to fall if that Hill collapses say I called out the rules in the diamond League enforced them it seems like your problem doesn't lie with me but the fact that the current rules means he's ineligible uhhuh it's always all right all 10 of them a chance to capitalize on the increase in interest after an Olympics of Worlds always seems to get squandered something like this gets parttime fans to watch and try to grow the sport but Noe rule book roony to the rescue yep well you done ruined it for everyone that's why the Grand Slam is starting next year yep exactly man I agree with these people right here I am agreeing with this yeah I cannot wa wait until the uh Grand Slam track because that I had a very similar idea already and I did base it off of tenis so this actually makes sense I did base one off of tenis and the other one just based off the seasons and I'm like hey you know what they actually haven't won each season so it makes sense each quarter you know spring summer fall winter and all of that so anyway guys I'll catch you all on the next one this has been Head and Shoulders ATR where we've been covering athletes performances and otherwise that are Head and Shoulders Above the Rest I will catch you guys on the next one I am not off of the uh vacation I have until Sunday let me make sure to date let me make sure okay I will be here for the next Diamond League final so I will be covering that I will be out the country on the 21st of this month so I will not be here so if it's anything around that time I don't know I fly to Nigeria and all of that good stuff I'll be there until about November and then I'm going to Kenya in November then I'll be there until February I think late January early February I gotta look at that because I can still change up the ticket but uh yeah I will be out the country and I'll be trying to do what I can
